Cold River Vodka is an award-winning super-premium vodka made from potatoes and distilled in Freeport, Maine. It uses water from Maine’s Cold River, which flows out of Evans’ Notch, meandering its way through the former potato fields of forested Fryeburg and filtering through miles of underground granite into the Cold River Aquifer. As a potato-based vodka, it’s also gluten free.
